Ever had an image you loved and wanted to recreate it in cloth? This class is for you!

This is not just another landscape quilt class. In this 2-part class, Jo will share her process in how to choose/modify a good image, create a pattern, and use a variety of techniques to create that image in cloth.

The first 2hr class (Wed April 17, 10:30-12:30) will help you decide what you want to do and then go about preparing for the second part. The second workshop will be held on Saturday, April 27, 2019 from 10:00am - 4pm to get you started on assembling your pictorial art quilt.

We have started a second round this Block of the Month class of the Full Bloom pattern at Kori's Fabric Creations. This is a beautiful quilt! It employs the "edge-color" applique technique. It's easy, it's fun, and you can be as sloppy as you like with your free-motion "coloring". It’s not too late to start, but you must begin in April in order to catch up and keep up. Please contact Kori for more details if you want to sign up for this class. We will meet once a month for 12 months.
